Anyone have any post rifle season bowhunting tips. I have been struggling this year and still have a buck tag that I want to fill after all the rifles stop making noise. There hasn`t been alot, but some, pressure from the gun hunters on the property that I hunt. So, any suggestions??

I wish that I could help you, but I am having the same problem here, I cant seem to get a deer to come within 100 yards from me. I will be watching this post to see if I can learn something, good luck!

The only thing that works for me in the late season is food sources. They are out fattening up for the winter and the bucks are replenishing their fat supply after the rut. I have seen some big bucks taken off of bait too at this time of year. I mostly doe hunt at this time but if a bruiser walks in I wouldn't hesitate to try and take him. Good luck to you.

On the land that I hunt only got gun hunted for one weekend. It took the deer around a week to settle down. I guess I would say be very cautious getting in and out of your spots. Stay low, the deer seem to bed in areas where the can see quite a ways. You might want to go the extra mile, walk a little farther, do what ever it takes to get in and out undetected.
Around here during the gun season you will see deer bedded on tops of hills right out in the middle of nowhere. Just so nothing can sneak up on them.
Good luck!
